1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Guillain-Barré (GBS) and Fisher (FS) syndromes rarely recur and the characteristics of recurrence have not been fully elucidated. We describe the cases of 2 patients with GBS or FS that recurred more than twice and who were subsequently diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Case 1 was a 66-year-old man who was diagnosed with aplastic anemia 10 months before admission with limb ataxia and a sensory disturbance of the distal limbs that developed 3 days after an upper respiratory tract infection. He had a history of double vision with ataxia at the ages of 38 and 56 years. Case 2 was a 66-year-old woman who had been treated for aplastic anemia 1 year previously. She had a history of upper limb weakness after upper respiratory tract infections at the ages of 39 and 60 years. Tendon reflexes were absent in both patients at the time of onset and they were respectively diagnosed with FS and GBS and treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. No neurological deficits persisted. Blood findings showed that both were positive for IgG type ganglioside antibodies and HLA-DR15. The positive HLA-DR15 might have been associated with the recurrent GBS or FS and the development of aplastic anemia.
